Eye of Sahara



a jeweled feature
pierces - eye of the Sahara
maker of myth

blood dried, bound
by sand, salten
by faith, found on
the wings of windswept scents spiced
absconding all worlds
un-knowable

    A gaze captured. Words captured and served in beauty.

    Very suggestive, bkm. Hints of myth abound within those eyes, including the pillars of faith and the unknown upon which cultural views develop. Deep poem with great concision.
